This amazing mechanism is known as (I gave it a name) the Quadratic Axilitating Worm Gear Solution. It can provide power to all four axles, at different times, by actually crawling along the 8 tooth gears! I found this mechanism in the book Building Robots with Lego Mindstorms, and made my own design and added instruction steps here so everyone else could build it. You really have to see it to believe it! That’s what they said in the book and they are right! |
You can also download the instructions to your computer. Here are the instructions in LDR file format in a zip file. Also included is a tiny thumbnail image of the creation. This was included to avoid errors uploading the file to this website. |
There are two ways to get the instruction steps and one of the ways is to build this right here online! I have provided high quality renderings, text descriptions to help along, and parts list images while your building so you know what to get. |
